English: Short-snouted seahorse (Hippocampus hippocampus), Arrábida Natural Park, Portugal. Seahorses have a very restricted home range because they have very limited daily movements. Hippocampus hippocampus are known to be ambush predators whom feed on live, moving food, mostly tiny shrimps (ca. 30-50 a day). They will remain still until a small animal passes within reach and then grab it. They do not have teeth or a stomach so they use their snout to suck their food straight into their gut. Seahorses are considered ovoviviparous but the particulariy that the female deposits eggs into a pouch on the males stomach, called a brood pouch, and the male goes through pregnancy and labour.
